“Therefore, David blessed the Lord in the sight of all the assembly and said, “Blessed (praised, adored, and thanked) are You, O Lord God of Israel (Jacob) our father, forever and ever.  Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and on the earth; Yours is the dominion and kingdom, O Lord, and You...

“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” (Psalm 119:105 NLT) This will make sense if you have been keeping up with the Mark Writes publications and you read yesterday’s meditation that challenge all believers, including self, to not be a hidden figure when it comes to letting our light shine. One young person wrote back and asked for input to ensure they would not...

“You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.” (Matthew 5:14-15 The Amplified Bible) I’ m making up for yesterday’s meditation not being short.  In spite of the brevity, you will be blessed by the point I will try to make with as few...

It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.” (Romans 1:16 NLT) Here is your Monday Short meditation!  I went to get my cracked, front windshield replaced last Friday.  I walked in the repair shop with my book bag over my shoulder, ready to make the most of my two-hour wait time, by...

“And the Lord said, “The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave.  I will go down now and see whether they have done entirely as the outcry, which has come to Me indicates; and if not, I will know.”  Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before the Lord.  Abraham approached and...

“…my cup brims with blessing.” (Psalm 23:5b The Message Bible) There is a song that the outstanding choir occasionally sings at our church, but it is one of those songs that you could listen to often and feel the exact same way as you did the first time you heard it, overwhelmed with joy, and lifted up.  The song is entitled, “I Wanna Say Thank You.”  While the composer of the...

“To you alone, O Lord, to you alone, and not to us, must glory be given because of your constant love and faithfulness.” (Psalm 115:1 Good News Translation) Tuesday morning, after getting up and working, doing the Lord’s work, starting the day early, a little after 1:00 a.m., I laid back down around 3:45 a.m.  I was having trouble going back to sleep so I decided to pray for awhile and...

Put your books away, clear your desk.  We are going to have a pop quiz today and you are going to be on the “hotseat” (Quote from your toughest teacher from years past!) Here we are, in the shortest month of the year, one in which many will not be short-changed on Black History, at least for the next 28 days.  Today, sticking with the “short” theme, let me give you a pop-quiz where the...
